Are they out of round? I've got about ten COT cars that I've trued the wheels on. I disassemble the wheel into the two halves, work the flash out of them, cut, grind, sand till they fit back together perfectly. After that, I run them on my Razor. I do the same for the fronts. It helps a lot to super glue the axle/bushing gap, not for the faint of heart though, or you will really be needing to replace the assembly.

no, it is the gears are getting stripped due to lots of hi speed crashing which loosens the motor which ruins the gear mesh. tried hot gluing the motor in but only holds so long and then motor becomes loose again. In all fairness we have ran 7 cots for 4 years now and only three gears have gone bad and they are in-destructable. Just wish Carrera would offer the replacement axle set 89406 as they offer all others except that one. These COT cars are in demand now and Carrera needs to bow up and do something about this void. I do not need to here a post that they did not sell -blah blah blah!! They are selling now like no tomorrow and parts need to be available! Hey Dave whats up?
